I have already sent like half a dozen bug reports with the Google Browser. (Most related to this website)

Ohh yeah? What type of issues are you seeing with this website and Google Chrome?

I actually posted it earlier somewhere else.

Actually quite a few.

Cannot save Quick Editing by pressing Alt S (brings me to a new reply pge)

Also, when you click Save in Quick Editing, the green loading bar stays up.

    I'm not familiar with Quick Editing but try SHIFT+ALT+S to save; SHIFT+ALT+P to preview.

                    ...when will you have time to do it over?

      Anyone else notice repetitive, intermittent hard drive activity with Chrome?

      If I just "sit" at a page, I get the above and some internet activity. I turned off DNS pre-fetching, no apparent effect. Also turned off the "Google Update" service in Task Manager.

      Yes, I have just noticed it. Chrome may be pretty fast, but the CPU Usage keeps jumping around.

        When I come to this page, the hard drive and internet activity 'pulse' for a couple minutes.

          Great browser though.

          Nice Find, Kpac

          can't they just program something worth a crap that doesn't NEED too be completely replaced in a few months or years?

          whose telling you that you "NEED" to replace any of your software? The companies. The irony is your posts reflect that you don't trust the companies as far as you can throw them, and yet you'll believe them when they label their software obsolete when a new version appears?

          In addition, if people decide to switch to a new Word processor, Browser, Spreadsheet, etc program, that program obviously brings something new to the table, which can subsequently be labelled an "innovation".

          Microsoft claims that disabling windows update poses a huge security risk. I have had mine disabled for as long as I remember, and I've had far fewer problems with Viruses and malware then my friends have had with windows update breaking something.

            I have it in fact im using it now I have to say that it is the best one ever the URL/search bar is ace and I like the screen grab links to your last used sites also the text is nice and big. If you don't have it get it. Plus it has a spell check built in like in office - the red line...

            There are some problems like you have to get all the plugins all over agane and some websites don't like it like freewebs (and even that works on its old system)
            So yar its gddd!! ;D

            Of course, everything isnt perfect about Google Chrome. Their EULA is a nasty one. It says that anything I write though the Google browser (such as this article) becomes the property of Google.

            Wow. Wouldn't have surprised me if it installed Google desktop automatically, too.

              From the EULA: "By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any content which you submit, post or display on or through, the services.

              Not only can they "reproduce" content, they can CHANGE ("modify") it!

              Good catch, Broni! Bye, Bye Chrome for me :'(
